9 years ago today Bravo Battery 1-206 FA lost a fine Soldier. SGT Ulloa and others were attached to us to from our 3rd platoon and conduct convoy security missions. Our battery trained them and became close to many of the troops from Ballistic 3-1. I'll never forget that night. I was in my room watching a movie and I was summoned to the TOC and the only thing I was told was that I was needed to help with the Movement Tracking System, (MTS). I thought this was weird because I was not super proficient with the MTS but I did know how to instant message with it and would try to help. As I came into the Tactical Operations Center, (TOC), it had a weird vibe. The command group were all there, no-one was talking. I went over to the MTS computer and immediately saw a 9 line medevac request that listed 2 wounded and 1 KIA. I tried to quickly assess the situation and I realized that my commander wanted me to be in charge of communicating with the unit on the ground as he was monitoring other comms with the unit. The rest of the night was kind of a blur. When everything called down I called a meeting with my Platoon to tell them about SGT Ulloa. I had been very calm and business like up until that point but looking at the face of my Soldiers, I couldn't get the words out. Our leadership went to meet Ballistic 3-1 as they came in. We hugged and cried with them and tried to console them. I remember seeing the medic. His uniform was completely black from the dried blood of the victims of the attack. I hugged him and told him what a good job he did in saving the other personnel in the attack.

Ulloa, born in the Dominican Republic, came to the United States at a young age, and grew up in Washington Heights. After graduating from Washington Irving High School, Ulloa joined the U.S. Army. Ulloa was originally stationed in Germany with the 515th Transportation Company in 2005 before volunteering to join an undermanned unit scheduled to ship out to Iraq.

The intersection of 177th Street and Audubon Avenue in Manhattan New York was co-named “Sgt. Jose Enrique Ulloa Way” in honor of the fallen soldier’s sacrifice.

101 years ago today, August 5, 1917, the 2nd Regiment mobilized for World War I and were encamped around the new state capitol by August 8th. After completing mobilization paperwork and physicals, the regiments moved to Fort Roots, and then to Camp Pike on the 24th.

In mid-September the unit was notified that they were to be part of a newly created division, the 39th. The 2nd Regiment became the 142nd Field Artillery Regiment. The unit was ordered to Camp Beauregard in Alexandria, LA and began moving by train in late September. On their arrival at Camp Beauregard, the unit began intensive training. As one would expect, the old 2nd Regiment had a difficult task as it converted to artillery. After several months of classroom training, the 142nd began live fire in April 1918. After two and one-half months in the field conducting live fire training, the 142nd was certified for overseas service.

The 142nd sailed for France August 31st and arrived September 7th. After arrival in France, the 142nd drew equipment and began training on the tractor drawn 155mm howitzer (it had trained on the horse drawn 4.7 inch weapon while in the states). The 142nd was certified for combat November 8th, 1918 and the armistice was signed on the 11th, preventing the 142nd from participating in combat.

The 142nd stayed in France to conduct tests and exercises to develop techniques for motorized artillery battalions and won a commendation for efficient performance. The 142nd sailed from France aboard the USS Amphion June 3, 1919 and personnel were discharged at Camp Pike June 26th. ... See MoreSee Less
